[R-390] The politics of BPL

[JamesMiller]

Yes, so the rural farmer or Appalachian backwoods kid can also experience
the joys of unwanted pop-up ads, spam, browser hijacks, trojans, worms,
adware and spyware with rapid response over his noise-producing BPL
connection, all thanks to Billy Gates and his buggy software, and the money
hungry telecom companies, at a subscription rate of probably $90/month.
Sounds like progress to me !
